For prompt realization of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Red Line project, the Lagos State Government through the Ministry of Transportation, has approved the partial closure of the Murtala Muhammed Way, Yaba from Wednesday, 9th of June 2021 for 12 months.
The closure will enable the contractor Messrs. Craneburg Construction Company LTD, commence work on the construction of an overpass at Murtala Muhammed Way into Ojuelegba Road, Yaba.
Consequently, access through Muritala Mohammed way will be restricted from three to one lane with the closure of the BRT lane during the period of construction. Traffic will also be diverted to access Road leading to the Yaba Terminal and Ojuelegba Road.
However, traffic managers will be on ground for effective traffic management and control. Motorists are hereby advised to use alternative routes, drive within speed limits and adhere to all traffic signs on the construction corridor.
